Stylish & Safe: The Modern Fireplace Every Family Room Needs

Elevating a basement into an elegant family retreat requires a distinct centerpiece. Enter Kari Campbell, the visionary behind Kari Campbell Interiors.

Dive into how she transformed a humble basement into a cozy, multi-functional space, anchored by a contemporary fireplace set against a stone wall.

Project Goal: From Play Space to Cozy Place

Originally used as a spacious play area for children, the room needed to evolve with the changing rhythms of life. Whether for family relaxation or entertaining friends, the vision was clear: craft a space universally appealing to all age groups.

Design Style: High-End and Laid-Back

Kari Campbell Interiors believes in striking a balance between luxury and comfort in every design. Instead of adhering to a strict style, they crafted a space that's practical, relaxed, and inviting.

Anchoring the Space: A Fireplace for Every Occasion

The homeowners envisioned a versatile space – a place to relax as a family and entertain friends. The layout beautifully incorporates a quaint kitchen, a tranquil reading nook, and a travertine stone fireplace wall that stretches across the living area.

The choice of Heat & Glo Primo II gas fireplace was intentional. Its blend of style, safety, and adaptability made it the perfect fit. Thanks to the low/no heat options, they were able to safely mount a TV directly above the fireplace. Plus, the double-pane SafeSurface™ glass protects little hands with no need for a screen – a true embodiment of family-friendly design!
